It is called the Sidebar. Gadgets which are objects that appear on the
Sidebar have a habit of changing their position or disappearing for no
apparant reason. I would try rebooting again. If still gone right
click in the Sidebar area, click on Add Gadgets and see if what is
missing is listing. My clock gadget constantly jumps around. I just
gave up trying to pin it in place. Who knows why it acts that way.
